Imagine if you could’ve bought the keys to the Internet in 1994! A tectonic shift at the intersection of finance & technology approaches, where the very fabric of the global capital markets are being transformed at the atomic level for the first time since the advent of fungible currency is enabling such and opportunity now. Smart contract and the blockchain allow the creation of global P2P capital markets. Purchasing Veritas tokens is analogous to purchasing the keys to the most monumental paradigm shift since the advent of the Internet!

GGP back in the news

From Benjamin Spillman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I would like to
take the time to commend Mr. Spillman for his professionalism in his
given vocation. He literally read through each and every page of
research that I published on GGP, and that was a minimum of several
hundred pages (see GGP and the type of investigative analysis you will not get from your brokerage house, and GGP Shenanigans: How much value do you place on the credibility of management?).
This is not CRE developer or investment specialist, either. He then
took the time to contact me several times to make sure he had a firm
grasp on what he read, he fact checked my research (too bad he just
couldn't take my word for it :-)) and even asked other reporters what
their experience has been with me. In other words, he dug deep - very
deep, to get the FACTS and then took to the time
to both comprehend and verify him. I'm not knocking all journalists,
but there are some guys and girls who do not put forth have the
investigative effort and research that this man has. Kudos, it is well
deserved.

A
New York-based hedge fund bought an interest in up to 20 percent of
mall giant General Growth Properties for just $9.3 million in cash — a
company that had a market capitalization of nearly $9 billion as
recently as February...

It’s
the first vote of confidence in General Growth in several months, but
by itself won’t dig it out from about $900 million in debt that comes
due by December on Fashion Show Mall and Shoppes at Palazzo on the
Strip.

General Growth Shares have lost more than 98 percent of
their value this year and were hovering beneath $1 each until the
Pershing announcement boosted them to as high as $2.

Pershing
acquired 7.5 percent of General Growth shares for $9.3 million and an
interest in another 12.4 percent through, “total-return swaps,”
according to Bloomberg.com...

... Brooklyn-based investor Reggie
Middleton was one of the first to raise red flags about General
Growth’s debt problems, which can be traced back to an $11.3 billion
purchase of Rouse Co., in 2004. Middleton said Pershing might have
gotten a steal if General Growth management can somehow right the ship
andrefinance the debt due Friday plus another $3 billion next year. But
Middleton also said if he had the money he would cherry-pick individual
malls from the company’s portfolio of about 200 properties in 44 states.

Middleton cited South Street Seaport in New York and the Las Vegas properties as potential winners.
